A bachelor auction, a hot football player, and the right woman to bring him to his knees. Izzy
Knight walked away from her father’s billions and his Titans football
team to become a nurse practitioner at a children’s hospital. She’s busy
and accomplished and certainly has no room in her life for a
larger-than-life football player who goes through women faster than she
completes a shift at the hospital. Xavier Newton loves football but
hates the games that go along with it. When the owner of the Titans
forces him and his buddies to be sold like cattle at a bachelor auction
he barely endures the event, until a feisty brunette bids half a million
dollars for him. He’s completely drawn to Izzy, but when he finds out
her father is the owner of the Titans sparks fly and everybody’s
loyalties are challenged. Can these two find love when they don’t know who’s waiting to tackle them from the blindside?

My Review: 4 Stars

I love reading a book about two people who have every right to be full of themselves, but aren't. Izzy's super rich father owns a football team and he's using some of that money to have her bid on a player in an auction. Sports romances are always a win in my book.

I love that Izzy was able to pay for her education on her own, because I think it's more appreciated through blood, sweat, and tears, than it is handed to a person on a silver platter.But it broke my heart that she almost shunned her father to do so. Assuming things isn't always the way to go--in fact, it never is. That aside, Izzy is a very feisty and independent character with some trust issues. But boy, oh boy--the sparks seriously leap off of the pages from almost the moment she meets this player, Xavier (aka X). I dare you not to combust with the sparks!

X should be a jerk, but he's anything but. I love a man who is willing to give back, loves his mama, and treats a woman like gold. That man oozes charisma and is so confident. Of course, he has his own demons to face, but does so with much consideration for others. It's pretty fair to say that I adore him.

Cami Checketts is a wonder with her stories. Yes, there are a lot of swoony moments that almost had me in a puddle on the floor, but there are also some intense and suspenseful times. She's so good at crafting a fine balance with her stories that tap into a multitude of emotions.
